If you're interested, but not sure the group is right for you, come along to our free online taster session on Wednesday 14th October, 6 to 7pm, and have a chat with one of our specialist teachers.

Many of these mothers had a prior or existing mental health history, and studies suggest many new parents hide or play down how much they're struggling.

Risk isn't evenly spread, women in deprived areas and those facing multiple disadvantages remain far more likely to die.

This World Su***de Prevention Day, our thoughts are with everyone who has been touched by su***de. Because of our work to improve maternity services and maternity psychological support across the UK, and because we work alongside families affected by the findings of the Ockenden report, we feel it matters to speak honestly about perinatal su***de and the toll it continues to take on mothers and families. Today, we are holding everyone affected by this in our thoughts, and we want them to know they are not alone.

If you or someone you love is struggling after having a baby, you don't have to manage alone. Speak to your GP, health visitor, or NHS 111, or reach out to PANDAS Foundation or Samaritans (116 123, free, 24/7).

If you have been wondering whether private therapy is the right option for you, it helps to be clear about what it actually offers that NHS provision does not.

Timing is the most visible difference. NHS psychological therapy in most areas involves a wait of many months. Starting with us means starting when it is most clinically useful, not when a waiting list makes space available.

Beyond timing, the quality and fit of the clinical work matters considerably. Every person who comes to us goes through a thorough clinical assessment before any treatment begins. The clinician who works with you is chosen because their experience and specialism are a genuine match for your specific presentation. This is not a standard allocation process, and for some presentations it is what determines whether treatment actually moves things.

Therapy with us is also built around what your condition requires rather than a fixed protocol or pre-set session count. If your presentation evolves, the approach evolves with it. You receive what your situation genuinely needs, not what standard provision makes available.

If you would like to understand what that looks like in practice, a first consultation is a good place to start.

If you know someone who needs specialist support and you are not sure how to help, we offer a first conversation for individuals and for families trying to navigate options.

There is no requirement to have it all figured out first.

If someone you care about is clearly struggling but will not ask for help, you are probably not sure what to do. You may have tried raising it and found that they either minimised it or moved the conversation along.

There are a few things that tend to work better than direct encouragement.

Asking a specific question rather than a general one often gets a different response. Not "are you okay?" but "you seem quieter lately, is there something on your mind?" gives the person something to respond to rather than dismiss.

Sharing relevant information without attaching a directive can also open a door. Letting someone know what a first conversation with a specialist looks like, without adding "you should call them", removes the pressure and leaves them with a choice.

And sometimes the most useful thing is simply making clear that you have noticed and that you are not going to pretend otherwise. People often feel more able to ask for help when they know someone has already seen what they are carrying.

If you need guidance on how to support someone, we are happy to help.

There are some questions worth asking before you start therapy, and most people do not think to ask them until afterwards.

The first is what the therapist specialises in. Therapy is not a uniform profession. Someone who works primarily with relationship difficulties or general life transitions will approach an assessment very differently to someone trained in trauma-focused work or complex presentations. The specialism, when it comes to therapy, does matter.

The second is how they decide which approach to use. A thorough clinical assessment should drive the choice of therapeutic model, not habit or training alone. If the answer is that they use the same approach with everyone, that is worth knowing before you start.

The third is how they measure whether things are improving. Standardised clinical outcome measures are a normal part of accountable therapeutic practice. If outcomes are not being tracked, progress remains subjective on both sides.

If you are thinking about starting private therapy but have a few questions, please contact us for a free consultation and we'd be happy to help.

When therapy does not work, the most common reason is not lack of effort. It is clinical mismatch. The approach was not designed for the specific presentation.

We start with a thorough clinical assessment to establish exactly what someone is managing, and matches treatment to that picture specifically.

The question that comes up most often before someone contacts a private therapy provider is, 'can I justify the cost when the NHS is free?'

NHS psychological therapy is genuinely valuable, and for many people it is the only route. What it cannot offer, in most areas, is anything close to prompt access. Waiting lists for psychological therapy currently run to many months, often longer, and mental health rarely stays static during a long wait. A presentation that could have been addressed in eight to ten sessions at the point it first became a problem may take longer to work through twelve months later, because the secondary effects have had time to build.

What we offers is access at the point when it is most clinically useful. Every person who comes to us goes through a thorough clinical assessment, so the approach is matched to what is actually happening. The clinician working with you has been chosen because their specialism and experience fit your specific situation. And progress is measured throughout, so the work stays calibrated to where you are.

Whether that is the right choice depends on individual circumstances. What we would say is that there is sometime a cost to not addressing things quickly enough. It tends to show up in work capacity, energy, relationships, and the length of time things take to improve.

If you are weighing up the options, we are glad to have a conversation.
